Identify a pageitem with a hyperlink

Dec 25, 2011 8:49 PM

Tags: #hyperlink #pageitem

Hello All,

 

I need to find a way so that i could identify if a selected pageitem has a hyperlink on it. I have not been able to find a property or method on the pageitem that shows whether it has a hyperlink on it or not.

 

One possible way i found, was to get the list of hyperlinksources from the document, get their source and match it with the selection but i think there should be a better way as this would require me to look into the list for every single item in the selection. I have been able to do this through C++ sdk, so i suppose there must be a way in javascript for this too.

 

Kindly point me in the right direction.

 

Manan Joshi.

    PageItems do not have hyperlinks. Text has hyperlinks.

     

    You can make a PageItem a button if that's what you are referring to...

     

    You don't give enough details to know what you are after...

    Hello Harbs,

     

    Well to explain let me give me a test scenario. Create a rectangle, select it and then using the hyperlink panel create a hyperlink over it.

     

    Now what i want to do is to identify a pageitem that has a hyperlink over it applied this way.

     

    I even saw a class "hyperlinksourcepageitem" in the scripting model what does this represent, could you please explain.

     

    Sorry if its pretty straighforward, actually i am pretty naive in scripting

    I'm sorry. You're right. I got mixed up between sources and destinations.

     

    Either way, you can only discover hyperlink sources by looping through the document hyperlink sources and comparing them against your object(s).

     

    BTW, I just now noticed that they added a findHyperlinks() method to Text in CS5...

    Thanks Harbs this is what i was trying to ascertain.

     

    But one query if you could shed some light on, i can do this in C++ without using the document table of hyperlinks using the

    "IHyperlinkPageItemData" interface which is present on the pagitem. so i was wodering why this capability has been hidden in scripting dom.

    (OT: I also noticed 'findTransliterate' in Text methods -- anyone any idea what that's about?)
